Among the top-performing states is New Hampshire, which stands out for its strong healthcare infrastructure, with 64.9 women’s health professionals per 100,000 inhabitants and insurance coverage reaching 96.22%. Additionally, 71.55% of women in the state report feeling prepared for menopause.
Vermont also ranks highly due to its availability of services, with 67.1 women’s health professionals and 15.6 specialized clinics per 100,000 inhabitants, as well as insurance coverage of 97.52%. In the state, 71% of women report feeling prepared for menopause, along with a high level of engagement in menopause-related information searches.
Minnesota stands out for affordability and community support. Only 6.4% of adults report being unable to access healthcare due to cost, while 96.52% of women have insurance coverage. The state also hosts multiple organizations dedicated to women’s health, and 70.87% of women report feeling prepared for menopause.
According to TENA, the study aims to provide a clearer understanding of how menopause support is currently delivered in the country and to contribute to a more informed dialogue around women’s health, encouraging ongoing improvements in care.
